It’s the 8 year anniversary of Nier Automata #nier

Can't believe I'm just learning that I share a birthday with this queen

Autumn, as usual, crushes it here

S-tier gender neutral greeting

as this piece gets into, one of the coolest things about Avowed is that there is no "best build," there's just whatever is the most fun for you (not a knock on it, I know how headlines work). I'm running with a grimoire/spear combo right now that objectively makes no sense but feels cool as hell

stayed up until 2 am playing Avowed then turned this jokey post into work ✌️ www.inverse.com/gaming/avowe...

I would give anything for a console screenshot sharing feature that isn't complete shit

I played a preview of Cosmo D's upcoming game last week. You will be unsurprised to hear that it already fucking rules www.inverse.com/gaming/new-r...

my phone has been broken for 24 hours now and if I don't get to take a picture of my cats soon I am going to die

I'm less than an hour into Avowed and already finding a lot to love, but the best part has to be the ability to eat food that's lying around without picking it up and awkwardly fumbling with your inventory first

Here's me on how Lost Records' focus on the mundane is its biggest asset, and an aside on the bittersweet feelings it stirred in my transsexual little heart specifically www.inverse.com/gaming/xbox-...

It's Valentine's Day, one of the most annoying holidays of all! If you're not spending the night eating candy hearts and [REDACTED], why not spend it playing some romance games hand-picked by your favs instead? itch.io/c/5392234/so...

At the stonewall monument rn

If I were overseeing the Monument to People Who Throw Bricks When They're Angry I would probably try a little harder not to piss off the people it's built for

Hey, if you're not already wearing a mask everywhere you go, start now please. A lot of people are going to die because of this.

Rehashing this story about what medical experts think of RFK Jr.'s experience, claims about vaccines, and more — now that he's confirmed: www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

It is unforgivably stupid and evil that the games industry can't stop giving randy pitchford air time

randy pitchford said that borderlands 4 is so well optimized you can fit it on a usb drive! Google “Randy Pitchford USB Drive” to learn more!

The list of words I would have been less surprised by there than "digimon" is infinite

I can't see a game trailer with a ninja in it and not briefly think it's Tenchu then get disappointed when it's not

the cooking/combat mashup in Sedap works so much better than I expected. I'm gonna make my partner play so much of this game when it's out

luv 2 be a worm Thanks to @ajfillari.bsky.social and @ohkimmies.bsky.social for having me on to discuss the joys of sinking into the loam and uhhhh....physics-based dating simulators?

This is a great summary of EA’s corporate shenanigans and the rot at the heart of C-Suite there (and elsewhere in AAA). Absolutely smashed it, @robinbombus.bsky.social.

trans women are still living our ancestral roles of apothecaries (barista, budtender) witches (programmer) and soothsayers (posters, noise musicians) the problem is our career paths are being ground to dust by capital instead of being lavished as they should be. in this essay i will,

wise words

With the news that BioWare has laid off most of its staff, we're in the mood to reminisce about the studio's past and get really pessimistic about its future, before turning to a bit of considerably more positive news to avoid being a total bummer. open.spotify.com/episode/1LMf...

i want to see less “i am deeply concerned about the news im hearing” and more this

"Techno Banter is, affectionately, a game for weirdos." I couldn't put Techno Banter down once I started it. A strange, funny, kinda mean but surprisingly sweet game about being a bouncer who is also a dog in a dystopian cartoon version of Berlin. www.inverse.com/gaming/techn...
